Book "The Guide to Montessori 6-12 years" - from the creation of the universe to life on Earth from 6 years, the child wants to understand how the world that surrounds him and the universe belongs to. To satisfy this vital requisition, Maria Montessori has devised the "cosmic fairy tale", scientific stories that turn to the imagination of the child, integrating them with concrete activities and "short excursions", or field experiments. The guide starts from the first cosmic fairy tale, dedicated to the creation of the Universe and the Earth, and proposes 65 activities to be carried out at home, aimed at knowing the composition of the earth, geography and solar system. We then pass to the second cosmic fairy tale, dedicated to the appearance of life on earth, with other 85 activities of zoology and botany explaining the evolution of animals and plants, to become aware of the interdependence of all life forms on ours planet.
